Die Besatzungsungssysteme der Achsenmächte. Versuch einer komparativen Analyse [The occupation systems of the Axis powers. An attempt at a comparative analysis]

Abstract

In this paper I intend to discuss some issues concerning the system of organization of the occupied territories and their population. First, I would like to discuss the main differences between the occupation systems of the Axis powers and their mutual influence. This will be followed by a critique of some theses concerning the German occupation system. The main part of the paper is my research on the German occupation system, especially on its main component - the controlling subsystem.
